Information about the program:

Merritt College Soccer was established in 2008.  The team has improved every season and in 2010 had its best season in school history.  The 2011 season looks to be even better with only losing 4 sophomores from last season.  Coach Sullivan is in constant contact with 4 year  coaches so they can move on to play at the next level.  Merritt College has an academic counselor to help with financial aid, picking out classes, and keeping the players on track to graduate and transfer.  Here are the records and accomplishments the program has had since it began:
